Basement lineaments pre-dating the dominant Mesozoic basin formation of the North Sea
are fundamental controlling features within the polyphase tectonic evolution of NW Europe …

Preceding chapters have summarized how in the Early Ordovician the collision of the edge
of Laurentia with a Midland Valley arc terrane led to the Grampian orogenic event and …

A new interpretation of a comprehensive seismic database, consisting of over 5000 km of
seismic lines, contradicts the notion that strike-slip motion on the Great Glen Fault (GGF) was …

We model the three‐dimensional (3‐D) crustal deformation in a deep pull‐apart basin as a
result of relative plate motion along a transform system and compare the results to the …

ABSTRACT A new interpretation of a comprehensive seismic‐and well‐database has
resulted in the subdivision of the Mesozoic into four, basin‐wide, seismo‐stratigraphic …

The hydrocarbon finds of the Norwegian and British sectors of the North Sea, north of 56°,
can be grouped into six discrete plays. The key to all the plays is the presence of organic …

In this paper we used basin and petroleum systems modelling (BPSM) of the Inner Moray
Firth, UK North Sea to identify the contributions of different source rocks, mixing ratios of …

Scotland's Earth resources, which include minerals, hydrocarbons, water and hydro energy,
have for many centuries provided a driver for population and economic growth. The nature …

On the Scottish mainland the Great Glen fault (GGF) displaces the Emsian to Frasnian
Orcadian Old Red Sandstone (ORS) by only 25–29 km dextrally but net post–ORS dextral …

Although it has generally been believed that structural styles in the Inner Moray Firth (IMF)
have been largely controlled by strike-slip movements on the Great Glen Fault (GGF) …
